Started a heavier feeding with the liquid FoxFarms nutes. Just like the Glue grow, I really hope she bulks up too. The cheaper LED lights I bought off Amazon (parfactworks RA1000w) have been doing GREAT so far, but they weren't expensive which makes me worry. There are a lot of buds on this gal and I'm hoping they don't end up light and airy. There seems to be good airflow and light penetration, but of course the light can't get everywhere. I think I've removed enough fan leaves where the light can get pretty deep, but I guess we'll see how she ends up.
I've stopped the LST and defoliation, but I am removing the dead leaves under the canopy.
I lowered the light for a few days to about 10"-12" hoping that the middle would fill out more ... it seems to have worked. The canopy is much more even and filled out. I noticed some of the white hairs starting to turn orange, but it feels a bit early for that to start happening - I expected the buds to thicken up much more. I purchased foxfarms beastie bloomz and cha ching and hope that will help. If these buds don't get bigger, it will be a very disappointing harvest
@Gutismoke102, Thanks - yours are looking good too! Looks like they're both about the same age (or I'm 1 week behind). None of the other grow diaries I've seen of this strain looked like mine except for yours so I'm going to be keeping an eye on that.
@TheUk420Show, Awe man - I wish. They were still pretty short, around 24" (61cm) but the LST really helped them produce.
Final results are 118 of the dense, good smokable buds, and 46g of airy/small buds in the hash pile. Totaling 164g or 5.85oz. Harvest diary will come soon along with a smoke report.
Great diary man! Id say your issue with the lack of smell/taste was definitely due to the cheaper lights and not even anything to do with the light output bc you wouldnt have yielded as well if that was the case but the actual light spectrum the LEDs put out. Howd pressing the bubble turn out though and how were the terps on that?
@DrWeird, Must have been an alright return if you were trying for diamonds and sauce man fair play 😂 But the upgrade will be sure to reflect in the next batch, I went from shitty 150w setup off amazon to the spiderfarmer sf2000 and sf1000 a couple months ago and still cant believe the difference, the new samsung chips are rediculously bright for the energy they use😵
@ElMangoLoco451, thanks for the input! I'm also thinking that when the temps went over 80F for an hour or two a day, that also contributed to this. Also noticed the leaves tacoing a bit too.
Well I'm glad I upgraded to the Kingbrite for the next run
The bubble wasn't bad, until I tried to get diamonds using the jartech method and basically decarbed it. Well.. next time will be better 🤣
